differentiate mitosis and miosis
( 5 points each )
Answers
Answer:
Mitosis is a process of asexual reproduction in which the cell divides in two producing a replica, with an equal number of chromosomes in each resulting diploid cell.
Meiosis is a type of cellular reproduction in which the number of chromosomes are reduced by half through the separation of homologous chromosomes, producing two haploid cells.
Following are the differences between Mitosis and Meiosis:

Can be either haploid or diploid
Always diploid

Remains the same.
Reduced by half.

Chromosomes Pairing
Does Not Occur
Takes place during zygotene of prophase I and continue upto metaphase I.

Creates
Makes everything other than sex cells.
Sex cells only: female egg cells or male sperm cells.
Answer:
Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.
